Robert,
Absolutely. All data is lost in a format process, and you will actually be
given two chances to desist before completely losing your data.

Hi Jack: I've never done it before, should the files on the drive be
removed
for safety sake? or is it okay to reformat it without first backing up the
contents of the disk? Robert.

Yes, in my opinion. Audio files tend to be very large, so wasted space is
not as much an issue, and larger sector/clusters will read/write faster.

Subject: [ddots-l] Reformatting Second Audio hard Drive?
Hi folks.
Is it still generally recommended to format a drive that is
specifically for audio with a larger cluster size? This is on an
older XP machine.
thanks
Chris
